James Laurinaitis will perform a special dance in celebration if he slams New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady into the Wembley turf on Sunday.

Legends: WWE tag-team Legion of Doom

The St Louis Rams linebacker will target the poster boy of the NFL throughout the game and beat his chest in pride before unveiling his signature move if he can sack one of the greatest quarterbacks to have graced the sport.

The celebration will be in tribute to his dad who performed at the famous old stadium in the Summer Slam as part of the wrestling tag team and was known as Aminal, teaming up with Hawk in the Legion of Doom.

But it is unlikely that the dance will compare to the Bob ‘n’ Weave, a dance move created by the Rams offence including Marshall Faulk and Torry Holt when they won the Super Bowl 12 years ago.

‘Muhammad Ali was one of my favourite athletes and I really enjoyed watching him dance in the ring so we started doing some moves in practice,’ Holt recalls.

‘We were all doing them and we had so much fun we decided to do the dance, the Bob ‘n’ Weave in the end zone after we scored a touchdown.

‘But Minnesota Vikings coach Dennis Green complained about it to the NFL after we put up 49 points agains them in the post-season. Well, the way to stop us doing the dance was to stop us scoring.’

Faulk, speaking at Nike Town in Oxford Circus, added: ‘They decided to ban the dance and give 15-yard penalties to us if we did it again but we just decided to continue doing it and still beat the opposition.’

Team dances are now banned and it is why the NFL is dubbed the No Fun League but Laurinaitis, 26, is not concerned.

He added: ‘I don’t know. I’ve been thinking about it, I’ll have some sort of celebration fired up if I can get to Brady, I promise I’ll have something for you.’
